Noooo,the answer is yes we race for money...I also play bingo for money and gamble at Las Vegas for money too...that NEVER made anyone commercial. (Used this on multiple troopers so far)
Certainly this has always been up for debate I guess...

Think they are stopping at weigh stations? Think they follow commercial driving laws?
Just thinking out loud...when the troopers come down on the bracket racer...are these the things we point out to clear the vision for non commercial travel?

More likely his racing operation is under WFX's authority of which has to comply with all MCS 150 criteria/guidelines. What not a better way for advertisement then on television.100% exposure.

Do you guys really think that discovery channel is going to take a chance on anyone of these guys not being legal. Remember they are on company time. Money, be interesting to know how much of that prize money they really get.

...I would guess they get it all. We do on the West Cosst. Runner up usually gets some also.....cash on the barrel head. Lots of cash changing hands during the race also. For us,.. Just about every time the car goes down the track, wether it's a grudge call out, test track hit, or elimination rounds, there is money changing hands.
